An engaging and chatty fellow, Senators star winger Bobby Ryan gives it a rest in his sleep.

The talking, that is.

"No, no he doesn't," said George Parros, who roomed with Ryan when the two players were with the Anaheim Ducks. "In fact, we've had issues in the past over not talking in his sleep but "¦ other roommate issues have come to the front."

Like snoring?

"Yeah, snoring," replied the Habs tough guy. "I'm not going to get into it, though. I'm not here to start a fight."

Parros said he and Ryan were "close," but he playfully declined to share any secrets about his friend.

"I don't think any of them I'm ready to divulge at this point," said Parros.

"With Bobby, what you see is what you get. You see that TV thing he did (asking people in Ottawa) if they recognize him? That's Bobby's nature. He's a really good hearted kid. Good head on his shoulders and fun loving. So I think what you see is what you get "¦ expect that he's the same around the locker room."

After the Habs' morning skate, Parros said he was excited about going up against Ryan in a game.

"Old Bobby Ryan," he said. "I haven't played against him yet. It sounds like he's found a home here.

"I'm looking forward to playing against him but not looking forward to him blasting me like I've seen him hit so many people in the past. But it will be fun."
